stabilizing a 500 on a boat

[walnutcrunch]

Way over my head here, but the usual path to stabilizing on a boat for us is to make sure we're holding on or braced tight so we don't get wet, then using the knees to counter the waves. Not the best. Zoom gets a bit crazy.

Is there any way to stabilize for a boat, in remote areas, cramped quarters, without a lot of room? Preferably not viciously expensive?

What are the options?

I have a feeling the good ole 2 knee stabilization is our only realistic option, but who knows.

It seems like that is a nice setup but the 500 with lens and batteries would probably surpass the 12 pound limit of the gyro. As a shoulder mount cam I'm not sure how it would work with that setup either. I know nothing about stabilization though.
